Danihers boots are only 2 foot off the ground when he grabs the ball.
Grundy or Howe both worthy winners.

This is what I don't get.

Daniher's mark is barely Mark of the Week worthy let alone Mark of the Year.

He's a tall guy jumping and sticking his knee in another tall guy's back. So? Grundy is just as tall as Daniher, is also heavier and got higher running back into a pack and basically turning mid-air. It's not even a contest.

Howe is a shorter guy, jumping on a taller guys neck and taking the mark on his CHEST.

But given it's a public vote and the public are stupid, Daniher will win.

OH yeah..I hear you.
Joey Daniher is the next media poster boy.
More's the pity because I kind of like him.
Once the media start spruiking the talents of any player unnecessarily (think Buddy, Selwood, Cyril, Dusty etc) I find it really hard to recognise anything they do.
Daniher will win MOTY - it's what the AFL and the media want

I'm still not seeing what was so special about Daniher's?

Are people being fooled by his height making it look more "spectacular" than it actually is?

Howe >>> Grundy >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Daniher
That's a bingo

Sorry folks, in my view, Howe is far above the other two as a mark.

He is a monty. Should be anyway.

In fact I think Howe has the best 3 marks this year.

But as it's a popularity contest people vote for their darlings before the best mark.

Same as the goal. Betts to me was the best.

Lances goal was a fake goal like Silvagnis fake mark over Starcevich or Abletts fake mark over Pert.

Daniher is a gun and it's a very nice mark, but both of our boys clearly took better marks. Daniher didn't even get that high off the ground by comparison with Howe in particular.

Grundy had the highest degree of difficulty and Howe is just ridiculous. He's so balanced. His recent mark against Melbourne was good enough to win MOTY on its own.

Voted for Howe.

In years to come....

Howe will be the highlight reel of great marks. Other two not so much.

You kind of knew when you saw Howe, you witnessed something special.

Grundy, you knew you saw something really good, Daniher just good.

To me it's not even close. Howe was elite level mark.

Grundy A grade.

Daniher solid B+

I reckon he lost because of the standard he's set... if he isn't jumping on a passing jumbo jet it gets downgraded to one of his good average marks and the thinking becomes oh well it's easy for Howe to take those hangers but it's really difficult for Daniher to do the same

and opposition supporters are spiteful bastards
